Seeds Germination:
Plant the seeds about three-quarters of an inch (2 cm.) deep in moist peat moss or folder the paper towel, then place them in a plastic bag inside the refrigerator for 60 to 90 days. Place the pots in a warm location when they come out of the refrigerator, and once they germinate, place them in a sunny window. Keep the soil moist at all times
Stratification is achieved either by sowing maple seeds outdoors in the fall in temperate or cold regions or by refrigerating the maple in an appropriate medium. Placing the seeds and moist, but not wet, peat moss, sand, perlite or vermiculite in a bag or container with a small opening or holes to allow slight air flow and re-moistening the medium as needed to prevent drying is key to maintaining the stratification environment.
The ideal length and temperature for stratification varies between maple species, but most germinate best following 40 to 90 days of cold treatment at 33 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. When several of the seeds begin to sprout, they are ready to plant.
